Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 276 The situation is tense
Tie Hui cleaved the Devouring Beast in two with a horizontal slash, and half of its body emerged from its belly, dripping with blood, while he clutched a spirit seed that resembled a plant flower.

After the Spirit Seed was completely extracted, the enormous beast let out a mournful howl and began to slowly fall to the ground like a whale falling.

At the same time, starting from the back, all the flesh gradually turned into black water and saturated soil, dripping down the skeleton.

The hunters and city guards on the lighthouse were shocked by this scene; they had never imagined that the Devouring Beast could actually be killed!
The most shocked person was Charles, who was standing on the high platform watching this scene through the gap.

The Devouring Beast can kill it!
Then what about all their efforts over the years at Lighthouse?
What is he, the head of the Light and Shadow Society?
Then what about the Lord of Light and Shadow whom they painstakingly worship in their lighthouse?
This scene was shocking to everyone at the lighthouse, and even more dangerous to the ruling class in charge of the lighthouse.

Viktor, who had been struggling to stand in the command room, collapsed to the ground, completely disregarding his image.

In fact, these old people on the lighthouse, or rather, these elders in the ruling class at the top, or even those who followed the hunters down to the ground before the three laws were promulgated, were actually people who had been to the surface with the hunters.

In fact, they all knew more or less that the Devouring Beasts could be killed, but the difference was how much information they knew!
Lord Morgan and Victor, the commander of the city's defense forces, and many other elderly people who had been to the surface, basically all knew that the Devouring Beasts could be killed.

Especially Lord Morgan!
Because he had been saved by Bai Yuekui wearing the Abyss Walker, he witnessed firsthand how the Devouring Beast was killed.

Elon, Flynn, and the others actually knew all of this.

But even if they were asked to do it, they couldn't, since they didn't have a way to locate the Spirit Seed, nor did they have the kind of heavy weapons that could completely wipe out an entire Devouring Beast into ashes in one go.

Therefore, the higher-ups at the Lighthouse have always told the unsuspecting citizens that "the Devouring Beasts are unkillable!"

Furthermore, by utilizing the religious nature of the Light and Shadow Society, they provide spiritual solace to those in despair.

But now everything has been shattered!

Those on the lighthouse who were unaware of this situation will surely feel angry once they learn of it.

The rule of the entire Lighthouse has become precarious!
The hunters, the city defense forces, and even the remaining personnel from other departments who were still on site had now subtly split into two groups.

However, General Victor's city defense forces, Snow Peak, Gog, and even Elon, those old hunters or lighthouse elders who existed when the three laws were promulgated, were all located closer to the city defense forces than to the hunters.

For the hunters, it was Mark, Ran Bing, and a group of young newcomers from the Lighthouse.

Although both groups included some young and old faces, without exception, signs of division were beginning to emerge within the lighthouse.

Although most people are unaware of it!
However, some of the older members had already subtly formed a group, and Sengge had even secretly retreated to the periphery of the crowd, subtly giving a few of his confidants a look before quietly loading the gun in Gravity Body's hand.

Tie Hui played with the Spirit Seed in his hand for a moment. Although the Mechanical Cult also had some Spirit Seeds that had been taken from the Devouring Beasts.

But they treasured each of them like the most precious things, and wouldn't let anyone examine them closely!

Today I finally have a chance to feast my eyes on this stuff. And to be honest, I've always craved this stuff when I watched anime in my past life.

After all, this artificial ball is quite beautiful!

Ignoring the occasional glances from others around him, he held the Spirit Seed up to his eyes and, through the small rotating sphere inside, saw the vast Milky Way within, with countless stars slowly rotating and flowing inside.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but think of picking another one to make a collectible. But then he hesitated, realizing that these things were really too big and he could only hold one in one hand at most.

"Kid, stop playing around!" The Emperor couldn't help but remind him, even though he himself felt ashamed for the guy.

But since it was my own choice, I have to put up with it no matter how humiliating it is!

Upon hearing this, Tie Hui immediately composed himself, his hands behind his back, though still coiled around the Spirit Seed.

Turn your gaze to the city defense troops and hunters who are currently on guard atop the lighthouse.

Looking at the lighthouse's current state, his mind was filled with conflicting thoughts. The Devouring Beast horde had already gathered and was advancing towards this area not long ago.

This means that they have already been discovered by the ecosystem. In fact, the ecosystem already knew some information about them long before they arrived.

After all, the curator arrived here a long time ago, and the ecosystem will evolve in the direction of humans.

Based on the curator's abilities, it's likely that the ecosystem has developed beasts comparable to the curator's in the past century.

Those creatures in outer space are a perfect example!

Time was of the essence, forcing him to clear a safe area in space ahead of schedule.

I originally thought it would take at least half a month or a month before I could control the lighthouse.

But who could have imagined that the fight with that thing would end up like this? Thinking about it still makes him blush.

But it doesn't matter, it's better to be early, even if it alarms the Kloto system and further accelerates the pace of the ecosystem.

Then he had nothing to mourn.

With the engine slowing down, Tie Hui and the others landed one by one, while the rest remained standing in the sky, just in case.

Although they are very strong, they take every opponent seriously. Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit!

"Summon your leader!" Tie Hui looked at the Lighthouse crew, who had retreated several steps with his landing, now even more vigilant. He scoffed; their weapons could barely scratch his terracotta armor. He might as well have taken the Emperor's surname!

"It's not impossible! After all, there's still the electromagnetic sniper rifle, isn't there?"

Tie Hui's face darkened. "Get lost!"

Ran Bing nudged Mark and gestured with her eyes. Mark looked at her and then at the team members behind him who were nodding to him.

He forced himself to step forward and politely said, "Hello, I am the commander of the Lighthouse Hunters! And I will soon succeed as the city lord of the Lighthouse!"

Tie Hui watched as Mark walked out and introduced himself confidently from about five meters away. He subconsciously glanced at her figure, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He is a potential Astartes. If the ecology of this world can be completely taken over, then the so-called higher-dimensional consciousness can also be completely controlled or devoured by the Emperor.

He wanted to see what changes would occur if an eco-chimera became an Astartes.
Mark looked at the armored man who didn't answer him immediately and felt strange. He could sense that the man was looking at him with a peculiar gaze.

For some reason, this gave him goosebumps all over his body!
Just as Mark was about to speak again, Tie Hui spoke up.

"I remember your old bastard Morgan, he should still be alive, right?" Tie Hui's contemptuous tone made everyone in the Lighthouse, whether hunters or city guards, frown.

Tie Hui didn't care, after all, he was more than 100 years older than Morgan!

Mark frowned slightly, but still politely said, "Lord Morgan is undergoing emergency treatment in the medical department due to a sudden heart attack."

To be honest, Tie Hui, who knows the plot of the previous life, doesn't think that Mark can be a good leader in the post-apocalyptic environment without Dragonbone Village and without their empire.

On the contrary, he felt that Jingnan was very suitable to be a city lord!
For Charles...

This kid is ruthless, but he's also capable!
After bringing him back to the Lighthouse, we can use him as an experimental subject for the Abyss, or as a so-called state church priest, which wouldn't be bad!
However, this guy's mind is too complicated; if you throw him back at Warhammer, he might be tempted into something else by Chaos.

"That's a real pity. A friend of mine is an old acquaintance of Lord Morgan!" Tie Hui tossed the Spirit Seed to Tiberos. "Isn't that old guy Talasin always complaining that we haven't collected enough Spirit Seeds and Life Essence? This is perfect as a reward for this operation. Enough for him to live it up for a while!"

"Yes!"

Mark's attention was indeed drawn to the words "spirit seed" and "life essence." Almost everyone in the lighthouse present had witnessed the strange ball in the giant's hand being pulled from the body of the Devouring Beast.

Just as he was about to say something, Tie Hui interrupted him, saying, "Now! I think you people from the Lighthouse should lay down your weapons, obediently return to your posts, and await our instructions!"

These words caused an uproar among all the lighthouse personnel present, and many young people couldn't help but cock their guns and prepare to aim.

However, the elderly people all stopped them from firing and shook their heads, indicating that they would wait and see!

Their expressions were extremely grim, as some of the Astartes present deactivated their nano-silicon armor.

They recognized the tin can men, and a flood of unpleasant memories, mixed with overwhelming fear, instantly turned them pale.

But there were only a handful of people, like Instructor Elon!

While Gog and his companions weren't quite as badly off as Instructor Elon, they weren't much better off. After all, although they hadn't directly participated in the battle at the lighthouse, they had glimpsed some scenes of the fighting while they were hiding.

“This… General!” Mark’s expression was also somewhat unpleasant, but he still spoke politely, “As the last spark of human civilization, our Lighthouse has always been committed to rescuing the remaining…”

"Alright!" Tie Hui interrupted, walking forward on his own. He wanted to go to the Lighthouse's air command center. At the same time, he instructed Tiberos to take some men to check out the so-called Cloto over the communication channel.

"You beacons! To put it bluntly, you're just remnants of the old world. We've arrived, and you've attached yourselves to us! We'll abolish the three great laws, and there will be no distinction between the common people and the upper class. Everyone can eat their fill and stay warm, and we can even escape this planet. Why not?" Tie Hui strode forward, and the city's defense forces and hunters in his path made way for him.

After all, the oppressive feeling emanating from this unfamiliar force's gravity was simply too strong.

"General!" Mark called out to Tie Hui, "Why don't we discuss this? After all, making such a hasty decision is really unreasonable!"

“That’s not quite right!” Just then, a familiar voice came from the Lighthouse. Everyone turned to look and saw Charles, an elegant blond man wearing white gloves and leaning on a cane, arriving in a high-profile manner surrounded by the followers of the Light and Shadow Society.

Big Dog Sharif stepped forward and slammed his weapon into the ground with a loud thud.

This is clearly a show of force against Tie Hui and his gang!
The two Lightbringers held their heads high, looking arrogantly at everyone around them. Even the believers and priests behind them wore the same expression.

“Hello, great general!” Charles stepped forward and gave a very standard gentlemanly bow.

But for some reason, Tie Hui felt a little awkward, especially the words "great general" which always reminded him of the most successful man born in the 80s in his previous life.

"You want to be the person at the very top of the power structure in this lighthouse!" Tie Hui ruthlessly exposed his deepest desire.

“If it were before, you might have been very suitable. But now that we’re here, put away your little schemes!” Tie Hui looked down at Charles, not thinking that killing those who behaved badly in his previous life was a good idea.

After all, those who survive in this apocalypse and climb to high positions are all extremely capable.

“I’ll give you more power then! You won’t have to be a tribal chief on this broken pot lid, will you?” Tie Hui’s condescending and teasing tone made Charles, who was bowing his head, stare wide-eyed, filled with shock and resentment.

"How dare you!" Having spent so much time with Charles, the two Lightbringers immediately noticed their leader's condition.

As the leader of the armed forces of the Light and Shadow Society, Vatican naturally spoke first, angrily rebuking them, "You bunch of backwards..."

Snapped--

Tie Hui casually slapped Fanti, sending him flying. Fanti crashed into the iron platform, bounced a few times, and landed on the steel floor, his fate unknown.

The sight of this made some people on the lighthouse twitch in their eyes. You have to understand that even if the lighthouse is equipped with the most powerful gravity system, it is impossible to slap someone back and send them flying 20 or 30 meters away!
"Sister!" Fan Lu cried out in anguish upon seeing this scene, disregarding his hatred for Tie Hui and rushing straight to where Fan Di was.

The priests behind Charles had long since abandoned their canes and replaced them with pistols. They drew their guns and aimed them at Tie Hui and the others.

Even the city guards and hunters on the lighthouse instantly raised their guns and aimed at Tie Hui.

Although the three of them didn't get along well with each other, and the city defense forces, the hunters, and the Light and Shadow Society often had conflicts and friction.

But these are all internal matters of the Lighthouse!
Now that this outside force has suddenly attacked the Light and Shadow Society, it's tantamount to attacking the Lighthouse.
